Of course I don't think it's worth having a PyPI package for this one
function.  That's why I suggested it could possibly live in `boltons` (that
already contains a lot of other simple functions that aren't in the stdlib)
or in `arek_utils` (which I haven't described except implicitly as a
collection of "a bunch of useful things").

Tim argues that this functionality is even too simple for inclusion in
boltons; that might be true.  But either way, it's not a huge burden in the
interactive console to type a first line of `from my_utils import *` before
getting down to work.
